Sex Ed with Kylie Jensen

Today’s Topic: Strap On Play using Cloud 9’s New Strapless Dildo

Hi, I’m Kylie, and today we are going to learn all about Strap-on Play, as well as introduce you to Cloud 9’s New Strapless Dildo, the newest edition to the Cloud 9 family of products.

Many women, men and couples are interested in exploring strap-on play together as a way to open up erotic possibilities in their love life.

The key to building your strap-on toy sales is to make sure that you and your customers are educated on strap-on play, so they can try out new ways to explore sexual empowerment and pleasure together.

Strap-on play is an erotic activity that couples can do together that builds trust, opens communication, fulfills fantasies and creates new ways to explore their orgasmic experience.

Curiosity About Strap-on Play Can Translate into Sales

With the increase in popularity of strap-on play becoming more mainstream, men, women and couples are becoming more curious about this new erotic adventure they can explore with their partner. This gives you, the sales representative, the opportunity to educate the consumer about strap-on play and help them choose appropriate pleasure products to explore this new exciting activity.

What is Strap-on Play?

Strap-on play is the use of a strap-on dildo (or faux penis) worn by one partner to sexually penetrate the other partner. Strap-ons can be worn by anyone regardless of gender or sexual orientation but are usually worn by women to penetrate their partner either vaginally or anally. Female to male strap-on sex has a specific name called pegging.

Why Use a Strap-on?

There are many reasons why a couple may want to use a strap-on for sexual play. These include:

Female to Female Sex: Strap-on play is a popular way for same sex women to achieve intercourse together with over 50% of queer-identified women taking part in it as a regular sexual activity.

Pegging: Strap-on play between heterosexual couples is also on the rise as well, with more than 50% of straight men admitting they enjoy anal sex with their female partners.

Erectile Dysfunction: Hollow strap-ons can be worn by men who have difficulty getting and/or maintaining an erection in order to facilitate penetrative sex.

Longer Lasting: Strap-ons can also be used by men to last longer in the bedroom and give him more stamina, thus prolonging intercourse and giving their partner more stimulation.

Oral Pleasure: Some couples enjoy simulating oral sex on a strap-on dildo, which can be visually stimulating.

Role Reversal: Some couples like roleplaying with power exchange and/or role reversal (gender bending) in which the female takes on the active role of a “top” and the male takes on the receptive role as a “bottom”. For men this allows them to be more receptive, vulnerable and to give up control in the bedroom. For women they can enjoy being in the seat of power and giving pleasure to their partner.

What is Pegging?

Pegging is a sexual activity where a woman penetrates a man anally using a strap-on dildo. Pegging allows couples to explore their sexual boundaries and fulfill their fantasies for deeper intimacy. For men, pegging can be a highly erotic and orgasmic experience because it involves stimulating the prostate gland or male g-spot, which can lead to more powerful, as well as multiple orgasms. According to Rubie Ryder from Pegging Paradise, “Pegging can provide him with orgasms 10 times more powerful that he has ever experienced with a lot more ejaculate.”

While pegging may seem like a new thing, it has actually been fairly popular for quite some time. In fact, in 1998, the first “Bend Over Boyfriend” instructional video on “pegging” was released and since then interest in pegging has grown.

The term was popularized in 2001 when Dan Savage and his readers of “Savage Love” recognized that there was no name for the act of female on male strap on sex. Thus, “pegging” was born.

These days pegging has become even more popular due to greater awareness of the male prostate, more open views about sexuality, and couple’s willingness to explore a variety of sexual practices and power exchange scenarios together. The act of pegging has become a “thing” now, featured pop culture TV shows and films.

What and Where is the Prostate Gland?

The prostate gland (or p-spot) is a sexual gland, about the size of a walnut, located just inside the anus 2-3 inches. It is positioned beneath the bladder at the base of a man’s penis, just in front of his rectum, above the perineum. It is responsible for “secret[ing] a slightly alkaline fluid” and “contains some smooth muscles that help expel semen during ejaculation.” The prostate is highly sensitive and can be stimulated by pressing up into the perineum (externally), or by penetrating the anus (internally) with a finger, anal toy, or dildo.

Why Would a Couple Want to Engage in Pegging?

There are plenty of reasons why a couple may want to try female to male strap on sex. The foremost reason would be that it is pleasurable. For the man it provides a way to stimulate his prostate which can lead to very intense as well as multiple orgasms. Women can also get pleasure from pegging as well, by using a strapless strap on like Cloud 9s new Strapless Dildo, in which she inserts part of the dildo in her vagina to pleasure her G-spot.

Strap-on Sex for Stimulating the G-spot

Women can enjoy g-spot stimulation and cervical stimulation with strap-on play as well. Interestingly enough, the g-spot which is also called the female prostate is located in the same area on a woman as the prostate gland is in a man, just beneath the urethral sponge. It is an erogenous zone located 1-3 inches inside the vagina on the front (anterior) wall. Stimulation of this area can lead to powerful orgasms and sometimes female ejaculation, in some women.

How to Use a Strap-on

Communication:

Before you get started with strap-on sex it is important to talk to your partner first to see how open they are to the idea. Once you have both consented to exploring strap-on play, then you are ready to indulge in this erotic pleasure.

Anatomy:

For women, it may be difficult wielding a strap-on for the first time, because it is not a part of their physical anatomy, so they have no reference on how to use it. Also, a strap-on has no nerve endings, so the wearer can’t feel the layout of the anatomy of who they are penetrating. For this reason, it is important to get the lay of the land, so-to-speak, by using your fingers first to penetrate your partner’s vagina or anus and feel around for their g-spot or p-spot first. The anal canal is curved so doing this will give you an idea of the angle you will need to use for penetration. Once it is located, you can then have a mental image of where it is located so you can find it with your strap-on dildo.

Practice Solo First:

Another way to get use to sporting a strap-on is to wear it for a while before you intend to have sex with your partner, to get use to the feeling of it attached to your body. Trying walking around with it on, or practice thrusting and moving your hips. For strapless strap-ons this is especially true because part of the dildo is inserted in the wearer’s vagina, which needs to be held in place by squeezing the vaginal muscles. Wearing a strapless dildo beforehand will help increase stamina and build expertise. Plus, it will make you much more comfortable and less self-conscious when you do go to use it for real.

Warm Up:

Whether you are engaging in vaginal or anal strap-on play, engage in lots of foreplay and warm your partner up first. For anal play, it is a good idea to begin with an external massage of the buttocks and anal opening first, to prepare your partner for penetration.

Lubricant:

Use lots of lube when engaging in strap-on play. The anus doesn’t self-lubricate like the vagina, and sex toys can be can be dry and cause friction without lube. Cloud 9 Novelties Paraben Free Water Based Personal Lubricant is safe to use on any sex toy material.

Relax:

For anal sex it is important for the partner who is being penetrated to be very relaxed. The more relaxed they are the easier it will be to open up. Many couples enjoy taking a bath beforehand to relax and clean themselves thoroughly before anal sex.

Positions:

Try various sex positions. This is rather obvious, but some sex positions will be easier than others when using a strap on. For pegging, doggie style is the most popular, but you could also try missionary with his hips propped on a pillow and legs raised, and spooning may be a comfortable position to try as well.

Go Slow:

The anus is not like the vagina. It doesn’t stretch as much and isn’t as resilient. So, begin slowly. Start with simply rubbing the tip of your dildo over the opening of the anus until your partner gets used to that and begins to open for you. When they are ready, you can slowly insert just the head of the dildo. If this feels good, continue, slowly inserting the dildo one inch at a time, until your partner becomes accustomed to it.

Feedback:

Get feedback. This is very important when you are having any type of sex, but in particular for strap on sex and anal sex. You can’t feel with your dildo, so it is hard to know how deep you are thrusting, or at what angle or how that feels to your partner. In addition, with anal sex the one being penetrated should be in control over the depth, force and speed of the penetration, so their feedback is important. Watch for body language and ask for feedback on whether what you are doing feels good or not. Stop if your partner experiences any discomfort or pain. This means stop moving right away and wait to get instructions from your partner on whether you should continue or withdraw completely.

Control:

Use your hand to hold your strap-on and to position it better as well as for more control during thrusting.

Hygiene:

Cleanliness is very important when engaging in anal play because the anus harbours bacteria. You may want to consider using an anal douche to clean the rectum before engaging in anal play. Never insert a toy into her vagina if it has been in the anus without thoroughly sterilizing it first. Anyways clean and sterilize anal toys before and after use. Only use nonporous anal toys for anal play. Porous toys can harbor bacteria and STIs even after cleaning and can not be sterilized 100%. The Cloud 9 Strapless Dildo is made out of high quality silicone and can be sterilized for safe use and hygienic anal play.

Use Protection:

You can use a condom over a strap-on during strap-on play if you plan to engage in both anal and vaginal sex, or if sharing the strap-on with multiple partners, to avoid cross-contamination of bacteria. For oral sex dental dams work for both cunninglingus and rimming (oral to anal sex). Gloves are also a good idea for fingering as well.

Types of Strap-ons

There are several different types of strap-ons available on the market today.

Harnesses

Harnesses feature straps that straddle the waist and thighs and usually have removable dildos held in by an O-ring. Harnesses are usually sold separately, unless they come in a kit. Unfortunately, harness strap-ons do not offer internal stimulation for the wearer.

Strapless Dildos

A strapless dildo, is a strap on designed for women to wear without the aid of straps or a harness. Ideal for lesbians or heterosexual couples, the strapless dildo is made similar to a double dildo in which the woman holds the smaller bulb part of the dildo inside her vagina by squeezing her PC muscle and uses the longer end of the dildo to penetrate her partner.

The benefits of using a strapless dildo is skin-to-skin contact and the wearer is able to feel the thrusting movements better which eliminates the disconnection that some women experience with a standard strap-on. Also, the bulb massages the wearer’s G-spot as she holds it inside, giving her pleasure during the experience as well. If vibration is included, this offers the wearer additional stimulation. The Cloud 9 Strapless Dildo features a large vibrating bullet (above) that fits inside the dildo to ensure maximum pleasure.

Clenching the PC muscle is good for the vagina and libido as it is akin to doing kegel exercises that strengthen the PC muscle. Clenching the PC muscle aids in sexual arousal and, over time, kegel exercises lead to better, stronger and more intense orgasms.

Finally, if you need some additional support a strapless dildo can also be used with a harness to aid in keeping the bulb inside the vagina and for greater control. However, most people find they enjoy the freedom of wielding their strapless dildo without a harness. That way they don’t have struggle with straps in the heat of the moment.

How to Choose a Strap-on

To help your customer choose the appropriate strap-on for them, there are certain considerations they should think about before deciding. You can assist them in selecting the perfect toy by asking appropriate questions and by providing your expert knowledge about strap-on toys. The following shows you the unique features of the Cloud 9 Strapless Dildo, as well as what to look for when buying a strap-on.

Shape

The shape of a strap-on dildo one of the most important considerations when choosing a strap-on dildo. A strap-on dildo should have a slight curve in order to facilitate strap-on play for both anal and vaginal penetration. This allows the user to get the right angle when penetrating their partner, so they can hit the prostate gland or g-spot for more pleasurable stimulation.

Design

Design and quality of a strap-on is also important. The best designs are those with fewer moving parts or pieces, as there is less to break down over time. A solid, strapless design is ideal for this reason.

Material

Silicone is the best type of softer, flesh-like material for many reasons. It is completely body safe, hypoallergenic, phthalate free, and can be disinfected. Silicone is also firm, yet supple and flexible, so is perfect for strap-on play and penetration. Silicone also has a long shelf-life and will not break down like other soft materials over time, so will last a long while.

Size

For beginners, size is an important consideration. It is usually wise to start small and build your way up in size. However, not all of the strap-on dildo needs to be inserted, so if you take care and use control a larger strap-on is also suitable. A larger dildo also gives you room to hold it at the base, so you can wield more control as well.

Vibration

While many strap-on toys don’t have vibration, it is definitely an added bonus, especially for the wearer who will benefit from the additional pleasure. The Cloud 9 Strapless Dildo comes with a larger bullet vibrator for increased stimulation. Most strap-ons don’t include a vibrator, and if they do, it is a much smaller bullet. Our bullet is longer so offers more stimulation into the dildo for enhanced pleasure.

Pleasure

Yes, we don’t want to forget about pleasure! After all, that is the reason for getting a sex toy in the first place. While a strap-on should be pleasurable for the person who is getting penetrated, it is also important that the wearer enjoy pleasure as well, so the experience is more reciprocal. That way, strap-on sex more closely resembles real penis to vagina or anal sex, so both partners enjoy the experience.

The Cloud 9 Strapless Dildo was built for pleasure. For the partner being penetrated, it features an upward curved shaft for easy penetration, so it hits those spots just right, and has a realistic veined shaft for additional stimulation. The wearer can enjoy the specially designed pleasure bulb with added vibration, and four ribbed pleasure points that stimulate the clitoris and vulva during use.

Sex Ed with Kylie Jensen

Today’s Topic: Anal Play using Cloud 9’s New GEMs Anal Line

Hi, I’m Kylie, and today’s topic is all about Anal Play as well as an introduction to Cloud 9 Novelties Anal GEMs, the newest edition to the Cloud 9 family of products.

The key to building your anal toy sales is to make sure that you and your customers are educated on how to best introduce anal play to their lifestyle in a safe and pleasurable way.

Anal Play is the New Normal

While anal play used to be quite taboo, recent studies between 2015-2017 show that at least 40% of the population has tried it as least once, and it has become more popular between heterosexual couples under the age of 45, with at least 44% of straight men and 36% of straight women engaging in the act. In the most recent study by Skyn Condoms, at least 15% of men are engaging in male anal sex in which they are on the receiving side.

Anal sex play is a normal, fun and pleasurable sexual activity for couples, whether they are heterosexual or GBLTQ identified.

Curiosity About Anal Play Can Translate into Sales

With the increase in popularity of Anal Play becoming more mainstream, men, women and couples are growing more curious about anal stimulation as a new erotic adventure they can explore, either solo, or with their partner. According to most sexual health experts, the best way to explore Anal Play is by trying out anal toys designed for anal pleasure first, before engaging in anal sex. That way, individuals can explore anal penetration in a safe way without worrying about performance or discomfort, thereby enabling them to become skilled and experienced before taking the ultimate plunge.

This gives you, the sales representative, the opportunity to educate the consumer about Anal Play and how they can use anal pleasure products to explore this new exciting activity.

How to Introduce Anal Play into Your Relationship

For couples, talking to their partner about anal play for the first time can be intimidating and rather uncomfortable. This guide provides tips for broaching the subject.

Long before couple’s first engage in Anal Play they should talk about it first. Anal Play is not something you want to surprise your partner with in the middle of a heated encounter. Rather, it should be discussed out of the bedroom first to avoid placing pressure on either partner and novice enthusiasm that can lead to clumsy or painful mistakes.

Good communication about your sexual preferences results in higher relationship satisfaction and better sex. Discussing new ways to keep things spicy also prevents bedroom boredom or a lack of desire and low libido. For those reasons, healthy communication about sex between partners is important and it is also beneficial to talk about new activities before diving right in.

Tips for Talking About Sexual Intimacy with Your Partner

Make Time for Meaningful Conversation

Don’t Assume You Know What They are Thinking

Ask Questions

Be Honest About Your Boundaries

Practice Active Listening

Take Turns Expressing Your Desires

Compliment Each Other on What Your Like

Don’t Judge Your Partner

Don’t Pressure Your Partner into Something They Don’t Want to Try

Give Your Partner Time to Think About a New Activity Before They Answer

Use “I” Statements and Take Responsibilities for Your Own Emotions

Keep the Conversation Light and Playful

Remember That Open Communication Leads to Greater Intimacy

Why Would Couples Want to Explore Anal Play Together?

Both the exterior of the anus, and the interior of the rectum, have thousands of sensitive nerve tissues that can make anal play quite erotic and pleasurable when performed correctly and safely. For women, anal play can be an add-on to other types of sexual pleasure including oral sex and vaginal penetration. Anal play can also be enjoyed by women for the pure pleasure of it for it own sake. For men, the prostate gland, or male G-spot is located inside of the anus and when massaged with a finger, toy or via anal intercourse, can lead to intense, full-bodied orgasms.

Exploring Anal Play Together

If both partners decide, that “Yes!”, they would like to experiment with Anal Play together, then it is an ideal time to brush up on their sex education and find out what types of anal toys they make like to explore. A great way to begin is to go shopping together for sex toys, either online or instore.

When a customer comes into your store for the first time, make sure to offer the highest quality experience by offering educational resources, asking questions, and showing the various options available for exploring a new sexual activity.

How to Choose Anal Plugs for a Beginner

To help your customer choose the appropriate Anal Plug for them, there are certain considerations they should think about before deciding. You can assist them in selecting the perfect toy by asking appropriate questions and by providing your expert knowledge about Anal Toys.

Anal Plugs are a great anal toy for beginners because once they are inserted they stay in place to allow users to get used to the sensation of anal penetration. In addition, Anal Plugs can be used hands-free, can be combined with other types of pleasure including vaginal penetration to enhance the overall experience, and they can heighten sexual pleasure by applying pressure to other erogenous zones as they create the feeling of “fullness”.

Anal Plugs come in a variety of styles, designs, sizes and materials, so it is important to consider these options before making a purchasing decision, in order to help your customer choose the right anal plug for them.

Size Matters

For beginners, it is a good idea to start off with the smallest size Anal Plug to enable them to get comfortable with the feeling of having something inserted in their rectum. Cloud 9 Jeweled GEMs come in three different sizes depending on your level of experience and ability. Small is for beginners, Medium is for intermediate users, and Large is for advanced users. Cloud 9 also offers the GEMs Jeweled Silicone Anal Plug Training Kit which allows users to gradually increase size with their level of experience over time so is perfect for beginners and those wanting to start anal training.

Shape and Design of Toy

One of the most important considerations when it comes to purchasing an Anal Plug is the shape and design of the toy.

A well-designed anal plug should feature a smooth narrowed tip, so it is easy to insert and allows the user’s muscle to slowly relax around the toy so it can gradually ease it inside. A wide, flared anchored base that is intended to stay firmly in place is also important as it keeps the toy from being inserted too far and allows for easy retrieval. The body of the toy should have a conical shape that widens into a thicker bulb with a narrow neck at the bottom before the flared base, to increase stimulation of contractions and expansions during orgasm. Anal Plugs with a longer neck are also more comfortable to wear and help keep the toy in place for longer periods of use, as the anal sphincter naturally tightens around it. Once inserted, anal plugs are made to stay in place as the anal muscles grip the neck, creating a sensation of fullness without the back-and-forth motion.

All of Cloud 9’s Anal Plugs, including the GEM series, are designed with a tapered tip for easy insertion, feature a flared base that anchors to keep the toy in place, and have a longer neck for better comfort. The silicone designs also feature a flexible tip, so users can wear them for an entire day with maximum enjoyment.

Type of Material

A softer material such as silicone is desirable when starting out as it is less intrusive and offers a more supple, pliable toy that conforms better to the user’s body. Silicone plugs can also be worn comfortably for an entire day of use. Cloud 9 Jeweled GEMs come in two types of materials: high quality silicone and chrome plated stainless steel. The soft, wearable silicone is velvety smooth and perfect for beginners. The silicone plugs also feature a flexible tip so the user can wear the plug for entire day, if they so choose. The stainless-steel design is ultra smooth for slick anal insertion and is also a great material for beginners as its firm design offers greater sensation.

Metal Versus Silicone Anal Plugs

Metal Anal Plugs

Silicone Anal Plugs

Stainless Steel, Chrome Plated

Hypoallergenic, nonporous, odorless, and body-safe

Easy and safe to clean and sterilize

Wash with mild soap and water

Can’t be boiled for cleaning, wash with soap and water

Tapered to fit for easy insertion

Flared base keeps plug in place and allows for easy retrieval

Smooth, slick, hard chrome plated steel offers more intense pleasure

Great for temperature play for added sensation when placed in hot or cold water

The main difference between metal plugs versus silicone plugs is the firmness of the material. Metal plugs are hard and inflexible and therefore offer greater stimulation. Silicone plugs are more flexible, so can be worn for longer periods of time with maximum comfort. While both types can be used for temperature play, metal plugs offer greater sensation as they conduct hot and cold more effectively. Only the silicone GEMs anal plugs can be sterilized in the dishwater, by removing the gem beforehand.

Are They Body-Safe?

Another chief factor to think about is whether the toy is body-safe. Cloud 9 Jeweled GEMs come in two types of materials: high quality silicone and chrome plated stainless steel, both of which are hypoallergenic, nonporous, odorless, Phthalate-free, 100% body safe, and can be sterilized for safe use and hygienic anal play.

Can They Be Sterilized?

When purchasing an anal toy, it is essential to take into account whether the toy can be sterilized and disinfected for safe anal play. The anus harbors bacteria that should never be cross-contaminated with vaginal play as it could disrupt the fragile flora inside the vagina and cause yeast infections or worse. For that reason, anal toys should always be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized before and after use, especially if you plan to share your toy with your partner. STIs and HIV can be passed on during anal play if toys are not properly disinfected and sterilized first.

Both GEMs silicone and stainless steel Anal Plugs can be cleaned with warm water and a mild soap. The Silicone GEM plugs can be added to the top rack of your dishwater or boiled in hot water for 10 minutes to disinfect. Note: In the silicone plugs, gems should be removed from tips before boiling or dishwater clean up. For quick clean-up, use Cloud 9 Triclosan-Free Premium Toy Cleaner to gently clean surface bacteria and disinfect your toys. This premium toy cleaner is water soluble, safe on all types of materials, mild enough for everyday use, as well as eco-friendly and Triclosan-free.

Allow plugs to thoroughly dry then store separately in a cool, dry place. Don’t allow toys with soft materials to be stored together, as they may melt due to a chemical reaction in the silicone or rubber.

As a sales representative you can take advantage of an upsell opportunity by offering your customer a premium toy cleaner to purchase, especially with anal play toys.

Expert Anal Tips for Beginners

Lube it Up:

When it comes to anal play, lube is your butt’s best friend. The anus is not self-lubricated, so applying plenty of lube before and during any play is an absolute requirement. Cloud 9 Novelties Paraben Free Water Based Personal Lubricant is safe to use on any sex toy material. This premium personal lubricant is thick, gentle, feels silky on the skin and is long lasting, so perfect for anal use. It is recommended not to use silicone lubricant on silicone toys.

Pain Versus Pleasure:

Anal sex should never hurt. If it does, you are going too fast, or not warmed up enough. Always make sure to enjoy lots of foreplay before attempting anal play, so you are turned on and relaxed and ready for anal penetration. It is important to go slow with anal play, and only take as much inside as is comfortable. Never force anal play and allow the anus to slowly suck in the toy naturally.

For that reason, we also advise to never use numbing products, because you should be able to feel what is going on down there, and the whole point is to increase your pleasure, not numb any pain. Always communicate with your partner about how it feels during anal play, or when to slow down, change angles or stop.

Keep it Clean:

Again, cleanliness with anal play can’t be stressed enough. Follow proper hygiene before starting anal play. Wear gloves for fingering, condoms for penis to anus penetration, and dental dams for oral to anus sex. You may want to consider using an anal douche to clean the rectum before engaging in anal play.

Never insert a toy into her vagina if it has been in the anus without thoroughly sterilizing it first. Anyways clean and sterilize anal toys before and after use. Only use nonporous anal toys for anal play. Porous toys can harbor bacteria and STIs even after cleaning and can not be sterilized 100%. Cloud 9 Jeweled GEMs can be sterilized for safe use and hygienic anal play.

From Novice to Pro:

Rome wasn’t built in a day, they say, and in order to become a Pro at Anal Play, you need to start at the beginning, go slow, and build your way up. Anal plugs are ideal for beginners, as you can use them for anal training to prepare the anus to slowly get accustomed to stretching around larger objects with time and to prepare one for anal sex. That means starting with the smallest Anal Plug, allowing yourself to get used to it for longer periods of time, and slowly working yourself up to bigger sizes. Cloud 9 offers the GEMs Jeweled Silicone Anal Plug Training Kit which allows users to gradually increase size with their level of experience over time. This kit is perfect for beginners and those wanting to start anal training, so they can gradually increase the size slowly, and eventually transition from Novice to Pro.

The GEMs Training Kit is also ideal for users who want to implement anal training to prepare for anal intercourse and expand their pleasure horizons. In addition, the silicone plugs feature flexible tips for a user that would like to wear the plug for entire day. For long-term wear make sure you also build up to this as well, by starting with 30 minutes at a time and increasing by 30 minutes each day if all goes well. Continue increasing the amount of time that you wear the plug by gradual increments daily. Be sure to listen to your body, and only wear for as long as comfortable. If you feel any pain or discomfort, then it is time to remove the plug until another day. Remember, you can’t go too slow with anal play and training.

Temperature Play:

Another bonus with Cloud 9 Novelties Anal GEMS is that they can be used for temperature play. Temperature play is a type of sensation play that employs the use of hot and cold substances or items on the body for sensual pleasure. Both GEMs Silicone Plugs and Chromed Anal Plugs can be used for sensation play by warming or cooling the plugs in hot or cold water. You can also immerse your anal plug in a bowl of ice for a few minutes to enhance a sensual chill or wrap your anal plug in a hot towel that has been heated in the microwave previously for a sultry sensation (Warning: Don’t place the anal plugs in the microwave, just the towels!).

Both silicone and stainless steel are excellent conductors of hot and cool, so perfect for temperature play. Metal toys will conduct temperature better than silicone and hold it longer, so will provide even more sensation. Be careful however, as these hot and cool sensations will be amplified when inserted into the anus. Be sure to test heated or cooled toys on the inside of the wrist first before insertion.

F-Machine Pro II Review by Jay Taylor

As part of our F-Machine™ Summer Bonus Offer, we put our best-selling item in the hands of someone who was chomping at the bit to get her hands on it – our friend the Porn Star Hunter, Jay Taylor.

*****************

This toy might just be too much fun… I have wanted to own my very own fuck machine since I knew they existed and finally having one is just as much of a blast as I expected.

My boyfriend and I played with it together in my carpeted living room (the main place I masturbate) the first time. For those using this on a smooth surface (tiles or hardwood floor), an optional suction cup anchor is available. So I just hung out while he assembled it. It took him less than ten minutes and came with the few tools and instructions that were required. MoreThanSexToys.com has great instructional videos available for quick and easy reference such as the one below.

I’m not a fan of the dong… It seems like people (*cough* men *cough*) like to design dildos how they wished their own cocks looked, i.e. super big, super hard, super veiny… Which doesn’t really make much sense because that’s not what the vagina was designed to accommodate, but whatever looks cool, I guess. I slapped a condom on it as a barrier to the latex and had lots of lube handy. I know there’s a Universal Suction Cup attachment (like the one shown below) so you can use almost any dildo, but I have not tried that out yet.

It was ready to use very quickly and I’m very impressed with how quiet it is. Quieter than my vibrators, actually. It of course gets louder when you up the ante, but not enough to be worried about your neighbors hearing. It took A LOT of adjusting and finagling to get to the right height, angle, and depth; but was super easy to move around, and then we were able to play.

I’m a very lazy masturbator and my go to position is on my back expending the least amount of energy possible, but I really enjoyed using it in a couple setting because we got to do and feel things we haven’t up to this point (like having my clit licked while I’m being fucked, AMAZING) and he liked seeing how much I could take. We messed around until I was tired and then put it away.

I didn’t fully disassemble it for storage because I want the option to be able to get it out use it as quickly as possible, and I was surprised by how light it was out of the box. Maybe it was just all that Styrofoam packing material that made it feel heavy when I received the package…but when fully assembled, it comes in at just over 22 pounds. It easily fits on the shelf in my closet and I’m not at worried about lifting it up or pulling it down.

The second time I used it was solo and on cam and my goal was to just play with it. I know that a lot of girls use fucking machines for games and countdown shows but I think my aim was more to just have a reason to talk out loud about what I was doing. I eventually just completely ignored the camera and just jerked off while reading erotica with one hand and using my vibrator and fiddling with the dial controller with the other.

Since I left it mostly assembled, that was no problem, except for the thruster rod. I had a couple questions about that for my boyfriend, and since there really isn’t a round hole for the round rod I got a little confused… We figured it out though. He just told me that the only way it fits is the way it fits. It doesn’t tighten around the rod so much as around it.

It was just BARELY tall enough to use on my couch, and then there was a lot of figuring out angles and depth and stuff before I could just lie back and get fucked and that’s when I found the worst thing about this toy… It’s too good. It’s too much fun. I laid there for almost an hour getting fucked by a robot and was totally sore the next two days. 99% of this session I spent on my back. I hopped into doggy for like a second but decided it was stupid. I don’t think that the toy’s fault so much as a mindset thing for me. Again, lazy masturbator.

It might have had something to do with the fact that I was on cam and distracted, but I got close so many times and then had to stop because it was too intense. I don’t think this is practical for fast masturbation, but it is definitely very luxurious and I plan on spending lots of time enjoying it by myself and with my friends.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA – Leading BDSM and Fetish manufacturer Sportsheets International was featured in the February issue of Cosmopolitan magazine.

The pleasure product giant which has been Keeping Couples Connected for almost 25 years was featured in the Love Lust & Other Stuff section of the wildly popular magazine in an article called “Why Is Kink So Freaking Sexy?”

The article which serves as a preparation guide for the soon to be BDSM Toy rush associated with the Valentine’s Day release of 50 Shades of Grey talks about the movie, it’s effect on the Adult Novelty Industry and how Kink has become a mainstream staple.

Sportsheets president Julie Stewart is quoted in the article on her thoughts of the books and Cosmo also refers to her as a “Kink Veteran”.

In addition, the spread featured a three page spread of recommended products for beginners, intermediates, and advanced. Sportsheets made the cut in their advanced buyers guide with their Red and Black Stripe Flogger from Sportsheets wildly popular Sex & Mischief line. Referred to by Cosmo as the “Stroke of Genius”, the women’s bible accompanied the flogger with a blurb saying “Give him a hard smack on the butt-or gently run the strands over his bare back like he’s in a delicious human car wash.”

“We are very honored that Cosmopolitan recognized our Sex & Mischief line for what is sure to be one of their most popular issues of the year,” claimed Sportsheets President Julie Stewart. “With the most talked about movie release of the year right around the corner we have already seen a large spike in sales, especially with our new Sexperiments kits so to be mentioned in an article covering Kink in the most popular women’s magazine in the world is huge.”
